I don't always agree with Mollick, but I think he's right here. One problem with "AI is bad" STS circles is that it's keeping people from being curious about how/why *other people* find AI useful + they really do! I'm calling this narcissistic-sociopathic technology criticism.
The polarization of policy into "AI is good" or "AI is bad" increases risk as it prevents us from mitigating inevitable harms while encouraging the good Technology is shaped by use. Tech historian's Kranzberg's First Law: “Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral"
倒木にて、殻が透明で中身が見える陸貝がおられた。おそらくミジンヤマタニシだろうか… 撮ってたらまわりでテナガハシリダニとアリが高速でチョロチョロしてて、一人だけスローなのが良かった。後半は触角がユラユラといい感じ。

落ち葉の上を歩く極小ダニ 途中から脚をバンザイする行動をし始めたので、可愛いなと思いつつも寄生するタイプなのかなと観ていた。 ツツガムシの幼虫に似てるけど動きが速いしタカラダニにも似たやつがいるからどうかな…何匹もいたし、一応この日はここで土壌動物を観るのはやめといた。
石裏に見慣れない小さな甲虫がおるなあと撮影してみたら偶然にウデナガダニが出現。 そのまま網の目状のエンボス加工された体表構造を観させてもらった。体長1ミリに満たないが細部にこだわってる感が良い。 冒頭の甲虫の体表もツブツブの凹部があり、そちらも良い感じの体表構造であった。

Grave goods always get me because this is 400 BC, this is a skull of a young girl, eight years old or something. Think about how much time all those took to make. Somebody loved her a lot
Ulrich Brand und Markus Wissen wollen zeigen, wie der Kapitalismus durch soziale und ökologische Krisen zunehmend unter Druck gerät. Rezensent Ingolfur Blühdorn ist weder von der in „Kapitalismus am Limit“ präsentierten Zeitdiagnose noch den politischen Appellen überzeugt.

This is correct, and I am SLOWLY writing about it. "Technology critics" are some of the most likely folks to overplay the role of technology and to be ignorant of larger social processes. This is one area where the "Techlash" and cultural pessimism have fucked up our brains.
I think there's a risk of fetishizing the technology in criticizing it, such that THIS kind of deskilling, cost-cutting, reinforcing managerial control over the labor process, etc. is bad but the others aren't
